u-boot cross compile, fatal error: stdint.h

There is a strange error here, trying to cross compile for ARM on Linux Mint. I used:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} distclean
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} am335x_evm_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC}


    make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/bbb/u-boot/arch/arm/cpu/armv7'

I also have exported ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE but I compiled u_boot without last week on other machine without a problem Seems to be a cross compiler problem but it is the same Linaro un-tar-ed in some location.

Any idea? Thanks very much.

Why is your u-boot source tree in /root/ ? Are you logged as root when executing make? Are you sure you want to compile u-boot as a root ? because you don't need to.

As I was trying to understand what is going wrong here, I recognized some lines here http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone#BeagleBone-ARMCrossCompiler:GCC I hope you understood each line you executed because you need to execute them one after the other to have the compilation working. Regarding the wiki, try this way :

export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/the/directory/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.10_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

Then you can just :

make ARCH=arm distclean
make ARCH=arm am335x_evm_config
make ARCH=arm 

Note that you will have to export the CROSS_COMPILE variable each time you open a new console.

I hope I helped you.
